Article Synopsis
- Multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria, like Pseudomonas putida, are major global health threats, often leading to high mortality in bloodstream infections (BSIs).
- A case report from Brazil details a non-fatal peripheral line associated BSI in a 72-year-old man caused by P. putida with the blaKPC-2 carbapenemase gene.
- The study reveals that P. putida can transmit resistance genes, raising concerns about the spread of these resistant pathogens in healthcare and community settings.
